“Clash!” by Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner – Cultural Background and Identity
Researchers have for a very long time now posed the question as to how a person’s mind comes to be formed. How much of the process can be attributed to genetics? How much of it can be attributed to the environment which nurtures that person? Does one’s cultural background and place of birth play a role in it? Naturally, questions such as these are hard to answer and will require many more years of research to produce conclusive answers, but Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner take a stab at it anyways in their book titled Clash!:8 Cultural Conflicts That Make Us Who We Are .
